What has been your # 1 detector in years passed

[Ron from Michigan]

My favorite beep and dig metal detector the Fisher 1235X light weight, fast response and good depth. Great value a very under priced detector. This may still be a good choice for a seeded hunt?

Garrett groundhog. I still have it and it does a good job on finding deep coins.

Toss up - I can't let my Compadre go (so light and simplistic) beep & dig - but years ago I spent many hours with the 6000/Di Pro (1st new in box detector I bought after used detectors) and the 6000 gave many nice finds.
I been down for years and now getting back in finally swung the Compadre just today I still like it but still kicking myself for giving the Vaquero & Tejon away.
I also had given my 6000 away years ago, replaced with a V3i and will soon have to re-learn it.
I'll be swinging the Compadre for awhile (medical reasons) + old & crunchy and the little cheap thing still works (just doesn't go deep but that's okay with me).
Enjoyed reading other's favorites.

List your favorite detector of all times

Well, at 85, I have to think. The first was a Compass and then a Whites. And from there was another Whites (XLt then DFX) which were really good. {remember) Dave Z who helped me and who could blow the "doors off of Minelabs!) And then the Tesoro which I fell in love with! Next was a Troy X5 That I fell in love with and still have with coils. All gave me happiness!
